What was going on?Dozens of shocked gazes focused on Woody.Clement would never have the guts to fight Peter again.Woody had been lucky and had managed to heal Clement, so he couldn't possibly send him to his demise again so soon!Clement had been unable to withstand Peter's attack. But now, he was supposed to be able to miraculously fight him?"He is Master Ramos, the king of the northwest. He can shatter a stone tablet with his palm and kill a bull with his fist!""Clement is no more than a pipsqueak compared to him. They are not on the same playing field.""He would be sacrificing his life. Who is this punk? How could he disregard a life like that?"Everyone discussed the fight among themselves, unwilling to vouch for Clement."You've got to be joking, Mr. Henderson." Melissa widened her eyes in shock. She was worried for Clement's wellbeing. She tightly gripped Clement's arm, unwilling to let him go.What was she supposed to do if Clement died in the fight?But she w
As the air dissipated, a figure violently somersaulted midair while profusely spitting blood."Pft!"Jeremiah's eyes were filled with shock. "How could this be possible?"Peter was the one that had somersaulted into the air. Meanwhile, Clement maintained an offensive position with his fists held up. He had barely moved from his spot.In contrast, Peter was thrown 40 feet away and hit a pole before falling to the ground. Then, he continued to slide another 25 feet backward and smashed a few tables before finally coming to a stop."I…" Peter struggled to lift his head. He was in disbelief.He could only utter one word before his head hit the ground, and he fell unconscious.Everyone was taken aback by this, and the place fell into a terrifying pin-drop silence.Clement had actually won!"No way! You cheated!" Jeremiah angrily pointed at Clement. He couldn't accept the outcome.Frankly, Clement was as shaken as Jeremiah.He had only had the confidence to beat Peter because
"Crack!"Suddenly, Clement grabbed Brutus' arm and broke it with a twist in front of Jeremiah."Ah!" Brutus shrieked in agony. Then, both of his arms fell limp as his face scrunched up in pain.Pamela's and her parents' hearts ached for him. Meanwhile, Jeremiah felt humiliated and angry.He had never been so humiliated in his life.He was Jeremiah Goldblum, the heir of Goldblum Corporations. But even with the reinforcement that he had personally brought, he was unable to protect Brutus!Jeremiah had always regarded himself as the tyrant of his era. He even considered himself to be better than the local gangsters like Mason and Tyga.But now, he had been humbled by the local gangster's lackey.At this moment, he was too afraid to even make a single sound."Oh, my poor son! He just recovered from his crippled legs. And now, his hands are crippled too! What did we do to deserve this?" Trudy wailed like a crazy lady, "Why did you do this to us, God? How can you stand by and le
"Your entire family are ungrateful bloodsuckers. You're worse than beasts!"Pamela was taken aback. "What do you mean they cheated your family's money? What nonsense are you spouting?""Don't tell me that you don't know about this. But that's possible as well. After all, it's not entirely impossible for your parents to hide something so shameful from you," Sasha sneered.Pamela turned to her parents. "What happened?""This is no time to be incited by outsiders. Let's bring Brutus to the hospital, quick!" Dickson exclaimed, feigning anger.Shamelessly, Jeremiah chimed in, "Yes, Brutus' Injury is more important now. Let's leave this place first."Jeremiah then picked up the unconscious Peter while the advisor and the others left the place with their tails between their legs. Pamela nodded at him and threw a look of hatred at Woody before leaving.Outside the club, the Yorks entered Jeremiah's car. Then, Jeremiah glowered at the entrance of the bar and growled, "Don't worry, it w
"That's enough. Get up now," Woody said.Helen took a step forward and helped Clement up together with Melissa. She said, "Mr. Henderson has told you to get up. Hurry and get people to clear up the place. We're here for fun."Clement nodded. "You got it." After he gave out the instructions, his men started frantically cleaning up the place. It didn't take long until the place was clean again. Soon, new tables and chairs were placed, and fresh drinks were served.The club quickly returned to its original atmosphere too.Initially, many timid guests had wanted to leave, but because Clement had announced that all expenses would be waived for tonight, they immediately changed their minds and stayed on.…Meanwhile, Brutus was at the hospital. "Brutus York, why are you here again?"The doctor looked at his medical records and exclaimed with wide eyes, "Last time, you broke your legs, and this time, it's your arms. What's happening? Do you like coming to the hospital this much?"
With Jeremiah's support, Pamela felt more confident and nodded in agreement. "Yes, you're right!"Since Jeremiah had turned the tables in her favor during the trial, then surely he was an important enough person who could influence Miranda.If Pamela mentioned Jeremiah's name, then Miranda would do definitely do her this favor."It's still not too late yet. Hurry and go now," Trudy urged. Initially, Pamela had wanted to suggest going the next morning. But when she saw how pathetic her brother seemed, she finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll head over to Ms. Miranda's hotel then."Half an hour later, Pamela knocked on the door of a hotel room in Hillside Hotel. After she was allowed in, she found Miranda all washed up and dressed in her nightgown."I'm sorry, Ms. Miranda," Pamela apologetically started, "I shouldn't have come to disturb you so late at night.""It's alright."Pamela was relieved at Miranda's magnanimous attitude. But unbeknownst to her, if she wasn't Woody's ex-
Pamela widened her eyes in shock. "What?"Thousands of possibilities on who the owner of the cream was had gone through Pamela's mind. At one point, she'd even accepted her parents' ridiculous guess that Samuel was the owner and that he had given it to her because he was interested in her. But the one person that she didn't connect to the cream was Woody. How was this possible?Pamela couldn't bring herself to believe it. "Please don't joke with me, Ms. Miranda."With a serious face, Miranda answered, "Do I sound like I'm kidding?""But… H-How could it be him? That's utterly impossible!" Pamela loudly refuted.Miranda sniggered. "If it wasn't for Woody, do you think that I would've let your company off so easily? Why would I withdraw my lawsuit when I had absolute confidence of winning?"Once again, Pamela's eyes grew to the size of golf balls. Wasn't Jeremiah the one who'd gotten someone to put in a good word for her? How did it turn out to be Woody?"Since we're already
Pamela's heart sank. This situation seemed familiar to her.Previously, Kurt had gained her trust the same way by repeatedly lying to her and shamelessly taking credit for things that Woody had done.This was the same tactic too! Could Jeremiah be a jerk as well?Pamela refused to believe this. After all, Jeremiah had caught Kurt and recovered the Yorks' money. Just this point alone set him miles apart from Kurt.Pamela's heart beat wildly, and she had on a complicated expression. Upon seeing this, Miranda's assistant said, "Ms. York, it's getting late. It's time for Ms. Miranda to rest. Please leave.""Okay. I'm sorry for holding you up for so long Ms. Miranda. I'll take my leave now." Pamela then stood up and dejectedly left the hotel room. Pamela was like a soulless corpse as she walked in her daze. When she finally got into her car, she didn't even remember how she got there. Just to be safe, she decided to call Samuel. "Mr. Hills, I must be bothering you by call
